Open Mic

Of course, I am going to write of my difficulties so far. The main one is the administration office "dumping" disciplinary problem students in my class. I had 3 students put in my class the 4th week of school that must have been kicked out of other classes. I've had one kicked out of my class so far for dangerous behavior in the lab. I just don't trust everyone in the lab to where I can allow them do group projects. I have to be able to watch everyone. The one's that don't take it seriously are given bookwork, and told that it is their grade for the day. I find their worksheets crumbled up in the trash because these kids simply don't care about their grade. It's sad. I don't have time to think of something for them to do. It's always unexpected when I have to kick some one out of my lab. I wish I could get a student aid to help me next semester. Another thing is the use of tools, I have to closely monitor every tool to see if it stays in the classroom. That's just a few concerns...
